Ellie will be ONE next Friday…

So my baby is turning ONE…in exactly 7 days. I’ve been a little bummed being out here in Wisconsin because none of her little friends from Colorado will be able to come say Happy Birthday, and the new friends she has made here are mostly going to be busy/out of town/family in town etcetera. So I’m bummed because it’s probably going to be a very, very small party. But then again, she won’t remember it. She won’t remember this whole first year. But I will forever remember it as the first of many joyful years with my sweet Ellie girl in my life. I suspect this next week will be filled with many reflections about this special girl’s birthday, provided of course, that she isn’t driving me crazy and I actually have time to write. Until then, here are a couple pictures from when Ellie was much, much littler. 😉 Enjoy!

About Me

Hello! I’m Gracie. I am a wife, a mama, and a follower of King Jesus. I love my garden and my goats and all things #homesteadyish. I love being a small-home maker, because small houses take less time to clean, and that means I have more time to spend on my tiny farm of a backyard. I love the flexibility of being a stay at home Mommy & Writer. As a general rule, if I'm too busy to make jam, then I'm too busy. This to me says, I value a full life, but not a full calendar, and I love to take life in season. Farm/Garden to table cooking is my absolute favorite, and I don't mind a little dirt under my fingernails. There's nothing better than a harvest; literally and figuratively.
And that's why I'm here, to encourage you to cultivate a fruitful life; whatever that looks like for you with your gifts, in your season, for the Glory of the God who loves you and made you. Won't you come along with me? I promise, we'll walk slowly.
